POST parameters not seen by ResourceRequest.getParameter

Question

In Liferay 7 I have a servlet that can serve a resource:

@Override
public void serveResource(
        ResourceRequest resourceRequest, ResourceResponse resourceResponse)
        throws PortletException {

    // Get the parameter
    log.info("Text:" + resourceRequest.getParameter("text"));

    // Some debug info
    log.info("Parameters:" + Collections.list(resourceRequest.getParameterNames()));
    log.info("ResourceRequest:" + resourceRequest);
    log.info("Private:" + resourceRequest.getPrivateParameterMap());
}

I call it with POST, here is the request seen by Wireshark:

POST /web/guest/home?p_p_id=nico_my_portlet_MyPortlet_INSTANCE_8bdmSyTiB7R1&p_p_lifecycle=2&p_p_state=normal&p_p_mode=view&p_p_resource_id=addResUrl&p_p_cacheability=cacheLevelPage HTTP/1.1

text=Bonjour&note=Bla

Log output:

Text:null
Parameters:[]
ResourceRequest:com.liferay.portlet.ResourceRequestImpl@7c4acfc2
Private:{}

Why does getParameter return null instead of "Bonjour"?

This will help you.

UploadPortletRequest uploadRequest = PortalUtil.getUploadPortletRequest(resourceRequest); 
String text = ParamUtil.getString(uploadRequest, "text");
